1913 Serial No- ??lhi lit.

Be it known that I, ALnicirr (J. Ownsinal'unn, a citizen ot the United States, re-- siding at Cincinnati, in the countyot' llann ilton and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful .l n'iprovements in Machines for lrlakinp- Insoles, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a lip-turning machine embodying, certain improvements and refinements, whereby a simplified structure results and the desired sequence of operations is performed in a lelicitous manner.

it further object is is tn'ovide an i1nproved and'novel lip-turning machine capable of making a double lip.

Additional objects, going to make up the tllllllltltt. perfection of the entire machine, will ap air as the specificationproceeds and the nature of the invention more fully appears.

Vith these objects in View, the invention resides in the novel ctuistruction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described in the specitiration, suzrnned up in the claims, and illus trated in the drawings.

in the accompanying drawings, I have illustrated the preferred embodiment of my intention capable of carrying out the under lying; 'priiu-iples thereof; andin'tlicsedrnwinns, in which like rcferenCo-characters denote em'respomling parts throughout the several .vicws: Figure l: is a top plan View of my machine; Fig. II is a longitudinal, vertical sectional view through. my machine; Fig.5. Ill an end elevation of the marching Figs. 1V and V arefragmentary detail -views, illustrating the ditl'erent seqnential positions of certain parts of my machine at successive stages in the operation of the latter.

lfteierring, now, in detailto the drawings: it iralicates the snpporting-frame of my ma chine, sustaining the, working parts of the apparatus. T he particular configuration of the frame is immaterial, as the latter formsno part of my invention.

2 indicates a drive shaft supported in hearings in the frame 1 and carrying, to-.

ward one end thereof, a pulley 8 loose thereon and a policy 9 fast thereon, by which the shaft may be driven from any suitable source oi power. The drive-shaft 2 also carries, fast thereon, a pulley 10 and a pulley it), the former 'of which, through a corn uertiug hell; '10 passing over a pulley 1.1 Fast, on a shatt f3 suitably -aupportcd in bran inns in the frame 1, drives said shall 3; and the latter oi? which, through a ominectin 'g" bolt 10" passing over a pulley 6 fast on a shaft, t) suitably Sllmlm'ttkll in hearings in the Frame 1, drives said shall; 0.. lhe shatt it carries, l'ast/ thereon, a worm-pulley 1:2 meshing withagear-wheel l2? last on a ver tiral shaltktsuitably supported in hearings in the frame 1. The shaft -lcarries, at: the top thereof. a lip-roll 1U having an annular lip or ilange 10 at the top thereof,adapted to overlie a \vorlrtablo li' mrried at the top of a revolublc and wortica lyo'coiprorabte shaltx 5 suitably supported in boar-innit in the frame l. The shalt -'lah o carries, l usta thereon, a pinion l5 lnesl'iing with a gear it) fast on the shaft 5.

Carried by the lower end oi the sha lit 5; is a saddle S9 for connection with a l'ooh treaille (not shown), whereby the nhai t' I) may be lon'crlal. The shaft is returned to normal position, after diinvnward inm'enicnt thoreol. by a sprii'ig E seated in a, socket 90 in the Frame 1, and hearin against. the lower end of the wl'n'lotalde spindle it.

Fast on the shaft; (3 is an eccentric.- .3 working in an oceantrio-saddle 2L, opera lively connected to an cocciitriiit-plnnpcr 2th prcl'crably through the medium ol a t lltW, :2! in two sections, which are rcrcrsely threaded and united by a turn-lniclde 2-1. The recentrid-plunge;- ilti terminates in a yoke 26", between which is pivoted, on a pin an, a head or carried by the s -or rid-l. The eccentric plunger :30 reriprocatrs in lrariugs in the upper portion of the frame l, and is covered For a portion at its length by a. removable plate ll suitably serurial to the top of the frame it.

Suitably carried by the end 01 the recontric plunger 26 is a turret E27, Adranta geo'usly, the turret is t ljnstably iarricd by said plunger, so as tobe capable o'tdidjnst ment to ditl'erent angles at inclination with respectthereto, and, to this end, i, prefer to provide the. turret :37 with an arm :27", which may be tiliinnpetl to the plunger it by a set-sernv Stil A, collar 2t), seated in a socket 27 in the turret, encircles the toolspindle 2t) and scoured thereto, and a coiled spring 36 is interposed between said collar and a plug; 30 s ated in the upper and of said socket 27 whereby the toohspindle J v .i.

tlti

to Ii lOt 29 reciprocable in said screw-plug 30 is reis, at'its lower end, -formed with a beveled or v inclined surface 29, asshown, which serves tofraise the lip upward. The forming-its tool thus constitutes, as it were, a plow.

Rigidly carried by the frame 1 is an arm 32, which is, preferhbly, rectilineally adjustable by a set-screw 32. The arm 32 carries, at-one end thereof, a spindle 32*. Desirably, this spindle is vertically. adjustable, by asst-screw. The spindle carries, at its lower end, a tool 33 formed with an inclined or beveled surface, constituting a plow.

)peratioii: The channel is out in the insole before the latter is operated upon by my machine, which is used simply to turn the two lips up from a lightweight insole, there by composing one unit of a solid lip, that would be obtained by using a better quality of stock, whereby the cost of production of insoles is reduced. In the operation of turning up the lips of an insole, the work-table 17 is lowered to admit the insole between the Work-table and the lip-r511 16. The forming-in tool 29, having the flexibly or yieldingly-supported spindle 29", will adjust itself to any thickness or irregularities of the insole. The work-table 17, and the liproll 16 revolve to feed the stock. T he stationary plow 33 starts the raising of the outside lip, the lip-roll 16 coiiperating therewith to turn the said outside lip upward. The tool 29 vibrates and acts to turn up the inside lip, bringing both lips to- I gether with. pressure, the tool 29 vibrating against the revolving lip-roll 16?, which thus cooperates in the operation of turning up both lips and pressing them together.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by lletters Patent of the United States is: V

l. in a machine for turning up two lips previously out in an insole, a revoluble worktable, a stationi-iry lip-turning tool, an in ciinin l -sun sorted vibratnw tool n'orided J i a z;

with. beveled lip-turning surface, means for vertically-yieldingly supporting said vibrating tool, means for varying the inclination of said vibrating tool, and a revoluble roll having its edge extending over the worktable, said roll feeding the stock and eo6pcrating with said vibrating tool in turning up the two lips and pressing them together.

2. in a inach for turning up two lips .table, a stationary lip-turning tool, a turret, -a vibrating tool vertically-reciprocatingly carried by said turret, a plug seated in the upper end of said turret, a collar carried by said vibrating tool, a spring interposed be tween said plug and said collar, and arevoluble 'roll having its edge extending over the work-table, said roll feeding the stock and cooperating with said vibrating tool in turning up the two lips and pressing them together. i

3. In a machine for turning up two lips previously cut inan insole, a revolving -'worktable, a stationary lip -turning tool, a vibrating tool provided with a beveled lip-turning surface, means {or verticallyyieldingly supporting said vibrating tool, I and a revoluble roll having its edge extending over the work-table, said roll vibratingitool in turning up the two lips and pressing them together.

4.111 a machine for turning up two lips previously cut in an insole, a revolving Work-table, a stationary lip-turning tool, a vibrating tool provided with a beveled lip-turning surface, said vibrating tool being supported in an'inclined position, a reciprocating plunger, a turret carrying said vibrating tool and adjustably clamped to said plunger so as to be held in spect to said work-table, and a revoluble feed-roll having its edge extending over the crating tool in turning up the two lips and pressing them together.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my h and in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
